A special Manchester issue article from the journal Engineering (27 July 1894) previewing the summer meeting of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. It describes a typical cotton spinning mill and weaving shed (Richard Haworth and Co., Salford) and the Platt Brothers and Co. textile machinery works at Oldham. Coverage includes the cotton processes from scutching, carding, roving, and spinning to warping, sizing and power weaving, plus the shop-floor manufacture of textile machines. Illustrations include photographs of mill interiors, early hand looms and weavers' cottages, and engravings of Platt calico looms (drop-box, dobby), slashers, mules, carding engines, winders and warping frames.
